"Whew, Whew......"

Under the scorching sun, Dugu Yi stood hunched in the Gobi and gasped for breath.

The old man of the weapons shop, as he himself said, turned back to the city of Dolong when the morning sun rose, so that Dugu Yi could only hear the wind and his own voice in the hot Gobi.

When a person is in a quiet environment, he inevitably remembers everything that happened last night, coupled with the injuries on his body, and exhaustion hits him like a tide.

Let's take a break before we go. Thinking so, Dugu Yi happened to see a dry dead tree not far in front of him that could turn into dust at any time.

Sitting cross-legged in the shade under the dead wood, and after taking out the water bladder and taking a few big sips, Dugu Yi began to cultivate again. Cultivation is undoubtedly the best way for Dugu Yi to relieve his troubles, his state of mind gradually calms down in cultivation, and the consumed Yuan power is also constantly recovering. With the recovery of Yuan Li, Dugu Yi's pale face gradually became ruddy, and slowly, he completely forgot the heat of the scorching sun and sank into selfless cultivation.

An hour later, the Yuan Force consumed last night in Dugu Yi's body had fully recovered, but he didn't stop there, but started to run the Yuan Force according to the fourteenth layer exercise mantra.

The blood-red Yuan Li flowed from Dugu Yi's dantian to the limbs and finally returned to the dantian, so repeated, every time Yuan Li finished a circle, the color was closer to the blood color, of course, this color could not be seen by others except for himself, only after reaching the realm of Wuzong could Yuan Li be condensed out of the body, and then the color of Yuan Li could be seen by others.

With the steady flow of Yuan Li, Dugu Yi only felt that his body was getting more and more full, and his abdomen was getting hotter and hotter, this heat was not like a dry desert but like the warm sun in the cold winter, and the comfortable feeling in his body made him unable to extricate himself.

After about half an hour, Dugu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and stood up with a 'whew', while shouting happily: "After staying on the third-level martial artist for three months, I finally broke through today!"

There will definitely be no shortage of people who have cultivated to the fourth level of martial arts at the age of thirteen in this Martial Yuan Continent, but there will never be a second person like a genius like Dugu Yi! He only relied on an unknown martial art, and it only took more than a year for him to achieve this achievement without any guidance from a famous teacher! He himself was not satisfied with this cultivation speed, also because he felt that his age did not match the martial rank, but only he had this kind of thought.

"Whew!" Dugu Yi, who seemed to have inexhaustible strength, threw a punch into the air, and then, habitually, turned his head and shouted, "Xue'er......"

Shouted her name but saw no one, and she was in a strange place! Dugu Yi then remembered that Xue'er, who used to always come to congratulate her for the first time, was no longer around, and her peaceful life had been ruined by him. Thinking of this, Dugu Yi leaned over to the dead wood in frustration, 'poof', the place where the dead wood was touched turned into dusty debris, and the two-meter-high dry plant fell, and Dugu Yi, who fell on the hot sand because he lost his concentration and did not stabilize his center of gravity, was buried in the broken wood chips.

"Bah, bah......" Dugu Yi crawled out of the ashes in embarrassment, wiped his face and said in his heart: Don't you even look at me like this rotten wood?

Although I was so angry that I wanted to punch it a few times, it was impossible, after all, it was all turned to ashes.

"Crackling, crack......ling" When Dugu Yi was cleaning up the wood ashes on his body, the sound of galloping horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

Dugu Yi became alert when he heard the sound, holding the hilt of the heavy sword on his back, looking around for the source of the sound, until he determined the direction of the sound and saw the carriage coming from the south, he was relieved again, and continued to pat the ashes in his hair.

Within a few minutes, the carriage came to Dugu Yi and stopped, but he didn't look at the carriage.

"Hey!" is a very crisp sound.

Dugu Yi looked up and saw a beautiful girl about his age climbing on the car window and looking at this side with a look of 'I'm in a good mood and want to help you'.

Seeing this girl, Dugu Yi thought of Qin Qin's figure, this scene was too similar to a year ago, it was the same sea of sand, and it was the same girl who came in a carriage...... Of course, there are more places that don't seem like it, but Dugu Yi doesn't notice those.

"Are you dumb?"

When Dugu Yi recalled the past, the girl's voice sounded again: "When people call you, shouldn't you respond?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yi muttered in his heart: "What an arrogant and coquettish daughter, not like it at all!" "Dumb, you ......"

"Who said I was dumb. Dugu Yi glared at the other party without a fight.

Although Dugu Yi quickly looked away, the girl still clearly saw his eyes for a moment, and shouted angrily: "It's rare that I still kindly want to take you into the city with me, and you half-blind man dare to stare at me." ”

"Half-blind?" Dugu Yi heard the words that stimulated her nerves, her fists clenched tightly, if she hadn't seen that the other party was a girl and was accompanied by an adult, she would have rushed up to teach her a lesson.

After taking a few deep breaths, Dugu Yi calmed down and decided to ignore her anymore and leave.

When the girl saw that Dugu Yi was leaving, she got up and wanted to get out of the carriage.

"Cherish the clouds. ”

Before the girl's hand could touch the door, she was grabbed by another person in the car.

"Mother. Xiyun looked back at her mother unwillingly.

However, her mother did not look at her, but told the coachman to continue on his way.

The carriage moved, and Xiyun, who couldn't get out of the car, returned to the window, stretched out his head and shouted to Dugu Yi: "Don't let me see you again, otherwise I will definitely make regret angry with me." ”

"I should be angry. Dugu Yi said in his heart.

Seeing that Dugu Yi ignored him, Xiyun took out an object from his side and smashed it on Dugu Yi's back.

"Smack!"

"Damn!" Dugu Yi touched the back of his smashed head, looked at the thing on the ground, and wanted to step on it, but after seeing the appearance of the object clearly, he put his foot down again.

A palm-sized box, not to mention the exquisite carvings, is worth a lot of money just by the pigeon-egg-like pearl inlaid on it, and there is no trace of stopping when you look at the carriage.

It's not bad to take it and sell it. Dugu Yi picked up the box with such an idea, and he didn't bother to confirm what was in the box.

In the carriage, the woman shook her head helplessly at Xiyun and said, "Xiyun, what did you throw out?"

"Isn't it just an ordinary pair of rings? Xiyun said indifferently: "And there are many more at home, so I should give him alms, does my mother still want me to go to him to come back?"

"Alas!" the woman sighed heavily, and her jade fingers like shallot roots lightly nodded on Xiyun's forehead. "You girl, when will you become more stable?"

“......”

The carriage gradually moved away, and Dugu Yi also took another step.

The encounter that passed by, a few short and not pleasant conversations, whether it was Dugu Yi or the girl called 'Xiyun', no one expected to meet again on this vast continent;
